TT crap camera database
Discussion
Is it me or has the Tom Tom camera data base lost the plot recently.
It used to be OK (6 months ago). But now it misses about 20-30% of cameras around London.
And that feature where you tell it you've spotted a camera, I've pressed that at least 30 times for a well known camera on the A40 London and after several updates it's still not recoreded.
What a total waste of time and money, completely unreliable which defeats the pont of having it.
Is the GPS World data base any better ? Is it a pain to download / upload ?

Im having the same problem, 6 months ago it was good. Now it’s very out of date.
Roadwork’s on the M5 with specs for 6 weeks before TT caught up with the cameras and still the limit says 60 when its 50. something has changed big time.
If you don’t already subscribe to cameras, DONT DO IT.

Now you come to mention it, yes, the speed it displays next to the camera warning is often wrong.
Worryingly showing a higher speed than is actually in place.
I think I read somewhere on here that TT would be using the Road Angel camera data base in future, but it's currently only on very new models ( I have 730).
If that is the case then maybe they laid-off their camera data base team and are making do with old data until the switch over, which is a very risky policy, particularly for their paying customers.
Just quick footnote. I updated yesterday and it loaded new software as well as cameras. Seems to be bit better, but still missing 10% of cameras around London arterial roads.
